Map Page Basics
The Map Page displays your present position and
direction of movement using a triangular ‘Position Icon’
that is centered on the map. As you travel, the map
display leaves a “trail” (track log) of your movements.
The map also displays geographic details such as
rivers, lakes, highways, and towns. The map shown above
displays a higher level of detail than the basemap pro-
vided with the unit (i.e. residential streets, parks, etc.),
because GARMIN MapSource data has been downloaded
to the unit using a CD-ROM mapping program.
To allow you to view the map from different perspec-
tives, the scale can be changed from 20 feet to 500 miles.
The ZOOM IN and OUT buttons on the side of the unit
allow you to zoom In or Out on the map. Pressing and
holding these buttons causes the scale to change rapidly
instead of changing in increments. The IN button displays
less area but more map detail, while the OUT button will
show you a larger area with less map detail.
A Status Window at the top of the page provides
you with current satellite tracking and position accuracy
information.
